More Than a Ride to School
The National Education Association claims,"The school bus is a mirror of the
community."They further add that,unfortunately,what appears on the exterior does not
always reflect the reality of a chosen community.They are right一sometimes it reflects
more!Just ask Liesl Denson.Riding the school bus has been more than a ride to school for
Liesi.
Bruce Hardy,school bus driver for Althouse Bus Company has been Liesl's bus driver
since kindergarten.Last year when Liesl's family moved to Parkesburg,knowing her bus
went by her new residence,she requested to ride the same bus.
This year Liesl is a senior and will enjoy her last year riding the bus.She says,"It's
been a great ride so far!My bus driver is so cool and has always been a good friend and a
good listener.Sometimes when you're a child adults do not think that what you have to say
is important.Mr. Hardy always listens to what you have to say and makes you feel
important."Her friends Ashley Batista and Amanda Wolfe agree.
Bruce Hardy has been making Octorara students feel special since 1975.This year he
will celebrate 30 years working for Althouse Bus Company.Larry Althouse,president of the
company,acknowledges Bruce Hardy's outstanding record:"You do not come by
employees like Bruce these days.He has never missed a day of work and has a perfect
driving record.He was recognized in 2000 by the Pennsylvania School Bus Association for
driving 350, 000 accident free miles.Hardy's reputation is made further evident through the
relationships he has made with the students that ride his bus."
Althouse further adds,"Althouse Bus Company was established 70 years ago and has
been providing quality transportation ever since.My grandfather started the business with
one bus.Althouse Bus Company is delighted to have the opportunity to bring distinctive and
safe service to our local school and community and looks forward to continuing to provide
quality service for many more years to come."
Three generations of business is not all the company has enjoyed.Thanks to drivers
like Bruce Hardy,they have been building relationships through generations.Liesl's mother
Carol also enjoys fond memories of riding Bruce Hardy's bus to the Octorara School District.
Althouse Bus Company pays much attention to
A:employing young drivers.
B:running quality schools.
C:providing free driving lessons.

The Difference between Man and Computer
What makes people different from computer programs?What is the missing element that our theories don't yet1for?The answer is simple:People read newspaper stories for a reason:to learn more about2they are interested in. Computers,on the other hand, don't. In fact,computers don,t3have interests；there is nothing in particular that they are trying to find out when they read. If a computer4is to be a model of story understanding,it should also read for a“purpose”.
of course,people have several goals that do not make5to attribute to computers. One might read a restaurant guide6order to satisfy hunger or entertainment goals,or to 7a good place to go for a business lunch. Computers do not get hungry,and computers do not have business lunches.
However,these physiological and social goals give8to several intellectual or cognitive goals. A goal to satisfy hunger gives rise to goals to find9about the name of a restaurant which10the desired type of food,how expensive the restaurant is,the location of the restaurant,etc. These are goals to11information or knowledge,what we are call-ing12goals. These goals can be held by computers too；a computer13“want”to find out the location of a restaurant,and read a guide in order to do so14the same way as a person might. While such a goal would not15out of hunger in the case of the com-puter,it might well arise out of the“goal” to learn more about restaurants.
